Nobody dares touching it.
There's a perl-current package that you can use, but that our p5-*
packages weren't fixed for. Upgrading the perl pkg will result in a lot of
broken pkgs that people don't like.

A more general solution would be to ask perl for some paths it
wants/prefers, and use that in PLISTs, but someone would need to look into
this. Or come up with a different solution. Any takers? :)
